Going for Chinese? Stay away from these

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements

Chinese food is a rare indulgence for me, but there's no denying that when I go for Chinese, indulge I do. Noodles, deep-fried chicken balls, sweet and sour sauce -- I love a good Chinese feast. But it's not the most calorie-conscious cuisine. eDiets recently counted down the five worst Chinese choices:

  • Crispy anything. It's just another way of saying 'deep fried.'
  • Egg rolls. Again, just another way of saying 'deep fried'
  • Spare ribs. The meat is fatty and slathered in sugary, salty sauce. Enough said.
  • Sweet and sour anything. Whatever mystery meat they're serving is deep fried and slathered in sugary sauce. Skip.
  • Fried rice. White rice alone is not a great choice. White rice fried in fat and served with bits of mystery meat is about 100 times worse.

What do you skip at the Chinese restaurant?
